Chapter 26: Why didn’t you die?

Lin Xuan was still in shock to this day. Just now, when he was being choked, he had truly thought that he was dead. This was the first time that an evil spirit, for the first time in this Bloodletter Quest, had laid hands on the occupants. This situation caused all the occupants to be on high alert. Before this, they had all assumed that before the protection targets were all dead, perhaps the evil spirits would not harm the occupants. But now, it seemed that this assumption had been completely shattered. Was it because half of the protection targets were already dead? Or was it? Chen Fu raised a question, ''Mo Yuan, I feel strange. Why didn't the evil spirits kill Lin Xuan?" "Lin Xuan being attacked wouldn't simply be as simple as the apartment removing the restrictions." Mo Yuan's opinion was that it was too counterintuitive to have attacked Lin Xuan, yet Lin Xuan didn't die. In past Bloodletter records, it was rare for there to be a situation where an evil spirit had already made direct contact with an occupant and the occupant was still not dead. This could only be understood as some sort of great restriction imposed　　by the apartment. "It should be because the protection target has not died out!" Chen Fu thought that this was the most reasonable statement, "That's the reason, right?" "Then what do you think is the reason?" At this time, within the cell phone video, Nie Han said, "Why didn't you kill Lin Xuan? This is extremely unreasonable, and you should know that, right? We can't be killed yet because the protection target hasn't died out, so what's the point of strangling Lin Xuan's neck? A sort of warning and intimidation?" Qin Ziyuan agreed with Nie Han, "Yes, I think that way too. If it was just for a warning, killing Lin Xuan would be the same." Lin Xuan instantly felt speechless, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, are you guys still disappointed that I didn't die? It must be some sort of restriction, right?" "No, Lin Xuan," Mo Yuan explained, "Listen to me, the bloodletter instructions explicitly include the protection of at least one occupant as a condition for completing the mission. That means that if all four protection targets die, then we will all die. This also means that in this case, there is no need to terrorize us with the killing of evil spirits. But if it's not an intimidation, yet why not strangle you?" Lin Xuan froze for a moment. "Could ……" Lin Xuan thought of a certain possibility, "Did I inadvertently trigger some kind of life path? Just like the last time the Bloodletter Dong Evil Dong Ning siblings, that evil spirit's hand reached in and somehow retracted?" "I think, I'm afraid not." Qin Ziyuan felt that this argument was not very reasonable. Moreover, that last incident with the Dong Evil siblings, he also felt that it wasn't that the siblings had triggered some second life path at all, but that there was some extremely special reason. Qin Ziyuan had been trying to figure this out for a long time, and that pair of siblings had most likely found some hidden rule of the apartment or something. Therefore, he had been arranging for his men to observe that brother and sister duo, not considering pulling them in for the time being. Lin Xuan was instantly anxious, he was very afraid that the evil spirits would strike at him again, and he quickly asked, "Then, Qin Ziyuan, what do you have in mind?" Chen Fu asked with the same anticipation, "Yes, Qin Ziyuan, tell us! As long as you can help us get through this Blood Word, from now on, I, Chen Fu, will only look up to you! If you say go east, I will definitely not go west! No matter who you want me to kill, I will absolutely not blink an eye!" The reason why Chen Fu put his words to this point was simple, he had too good a relationship with Mo Yuan before. Mo Yuan's heartfelt and gratuitous help to every resident made him admire him, but Mo Yuan's approach of preferring to let the residents risk their lives for an unrelated passerby completely chilled his heart. He was afraid that Qin Ziyuan would see himself as Mo Yuan's man and refuse to do his best to help him, which is why he spoke out loud. He was even afraid that Qin Ziyuan would not be dedicated enough to even say the words murder. The most crucial thing was that he also emphasized the word "no matter what". The addition of "no matter what" obviously included Mo Yuan as well. In front of his own life, everything else was naturally inconsequential. As the saying goes, a mother is a mother, and since he, Mo Yuan, was not capable of helping them survive the crisis, he naturally had to go to Qin Ziyuan, who could allow them to survive. However, Qin Ziyuan didn't care about Lin Xuan and Chen Fu. Even, it might have been fine if Chen Fu hadn't said that, but as soon as he did, he read the subtext. This kind of person who could be capricious for the sake of his own life could just as easily betray himself in the future. Although he was using benefits to drive others, those who were truly regarded as full-fledged believers were definitely speaking of love and justice. Therefore, people like Mo Yuan who valued righteousness over life and had lived through four Blood Characters, he was very eager to draw them in, and in today's society, people like Mo Yuan were too rare. "Chen Fu, you seem to have a great misunderstanding of me." Qin Ziyuan glanced at him coldly and said, "I am not some kind of murderous demon. To me, killing is only done when it is necessary. Also, even if I really wanted someone to help me to kill, I wouldn't pick you. And what do you mean …… no matter who?" Chen Fu looked at this attitude of Qin Ziyuan and instantly didn't know what to say. Obviously, he had flattered his horse's leg. On the contrary, Qin Ziyuan's attitude towards him instead became much worse. Qin Ziyuan looked at Mo Yuan's despondent expression, he knew that Mo Yuan must have understood the subtext of the word "whatever". Chen Fu can live to this day, when he participated in the blood word also have Mo Yuan remote offer advice, at that time he is how grateful to Mo Yuan, he remembered clearly. The so-called gratitude is also really cheap. "Alright, ignore this." Where did Lin Xuan care about Chen Fu's thoughts, anxiously inquiring, "Will I still be attacked? Will the evil spirits still kill me?" Qin Ziyuan shook his head, "I don't know." "Qin, Qin Ziyuan, I don't want to die ah …… please, you have a way, right? You've survived to the fifth Bloodletter, surely you have a way, right?" "It's not like I'm an immortal. For Mo Yuan and I this is the fifth Blood Word mission, a watershed moment. You should know this clearly, Lin Xuan." Qin Ziyuan had always pondered just why Lin Xuan had been attacked but not died. It wasn't that there was no precedent for an evil spirit attacking an occupant and the occupant not dying. However, it was usually the case that the apartment imposed a huge restriction on the evil spirit, and then the occupant managed to escape. This kind of thing had already put his neck in a chokehold and had been choking for so long, and Lin Xuan actually didn't die? Qin Ziyuan always felt that something was very wrong. This was all too counterintuitive. "Mo Yuan, I always feel as if we've gone astray in our thinking?" If the exploration of the bloodletter quest's path to life fell into some sort of preconceived misconception, the direction was wrong, and no matter how much more was done, Zhao would not be able to find a true path to life!
